a brance of science which deals with the collection, presentation, analysis of data and observations?

refers to the tools of drawing out conclusions, descriptions, inferences and generalizations from the analyzed data?

process of organizing data such as tabular display, presentations using charts or graphs?

referes to the different gathering techniques?

refers to the method of obtaining necessary, relevant and noteworthy information from the given data through the use of statistical tools?

these are the uses of statistics

EXCEPT:

Methods dealing with the collection, organization and analysis of a set data without making conclusions, predictions or inferences about a larger set?

methods of dealing with making inferences, estimations or predictions about a larger set of data using the information gathered from a subset of this larger set?

refers to the collection of all counts, measurements and responses that are of interest?

portion or subset of the population?

is a number that describes a population characteristic?

is a number that describes a sample statistic?

a value that remains the same as in the case of pull of gravity or speed of light?

are catergories which cannot be predicted?

refers to categories which are simply used as labels to distiguish one group from another?

are categories which can be measured and ordered according to quantity?

assumes finite or countably infinite values?

assumes values which are associated with points on an interval of the number line, usually obtained through the process of measurement with corresponding units?

some variables can be measured both as qualitative or a quantitative, depending on the data collection

it uses numbers of symbols for the purpose of categorizing subjects into groups or categories which are mutually exclusive?

this data can be ranked or ordered?

these are numeric in nature and distances between any two numbers are known. Also, it does not have an inherent zero?

it has an absolute zero point and the magnitudes of the data can be compared?

to give meaning of the analysis of data or information?

is a particular form of procedure for accomplishing or approaching, esp. a systematic or established one. Or a way of doing things?

A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning? It is also an intelligent guess?

is series of steps and decisions involve in the way work is completed? Also a step-wise decision?

are individual piece of factual information recorded and used for the purpose of analysis?

no method which can be regarded as the best because the choice for the most appropriate method to be used depends on several factors like the research problem, research design and etc.

most simple data collection technique where this is obtained by observing the behavior of the subjects at a particular time of occurrence

very useful when the researcher wants to collect data for cause and effect studies under controlled conditions?

the researcher gathers or measures data from a primary source for publication?

the data are coming from the information in compliance with existing laws?

the desired information is obtained through asking questions?

is a person to person contact between the interviewer and the interviewee?

easiest method of data collection because the data gathering tools can be administered to a large number of respondents simultaneously?

the process of gathering a representative portion of the population to be used in research study?

refers to the entire group of individuals or items of interest in the study?

is the group from which representative information is desired and to which inferences will be made?

is the population from which a sample will actually be taken?

is a listing which is actually a collection of all sampling units?

is a subset or portion of the population?

refers to the object or a person which a measurement is actually taken or an observation is made?

refers to the units which are chosen in selecting the sample and may be made-up of non-overlapping collection of elements or elementary units?

Advantages of Sampling

criteria of a good sampling design

basic sampling design

factors that determine sample size

is a sampling procedure in which every element in the population has a known non-zero chance of being included in the selection of sample?

is a sampling procedure in which every element in the population has an equal chance of being chosen as a sample?

the population is divided into strata consisting of homogenous units?

this method makes use of the sampling interval taken every kth unit from a ordered population?

is a variation of stratified random sampling in which the strata correspond to clusters?

is a sampling procedure wherein the population is divided into a sequence of sampling units corresponding to the different sampling stages?

this technique do not make use of random sampling thus, it is quite difficult to know if the samples are representative of the population

these are the Non-probability sampling EXCEPT:

data are presented in the form of texts, phrases or paragraphs?

it is more reliable and effective way of showing relationships or comparison data with tables?

most effective way of presenting data using statistical graph?

is the simplest form of graphic presentation? It is generally intended for comparison of simple magnitude?

is the most widely used practical device effective in showing a trend over a period?

a circle graph divided into components parts whose sizes are proportional to the magnitude or percentages they represent?

uses pictorial symbols and immediately suggests the nature of the data being shown?

usually used when quantitative data to be shown by geographical location?

provides means for visual inspection of data wich a list of values for two variables cannot?

is made up of adjacent or equally spaced horizontal rectangles of uniform width placed with their left hand ends lying along a common vertical line?

is made up of adjacent or equally spaced vertical rectangles of uniform width put on a common horizontal base line?

used to emphasize the relative magnitudes of the component parts of a fixed amount?

the following should be followed in constructing line graphs EXCEPT:

the following rules must be followed in constructing a pie chart EXCEPT:

data in its original form and structure are called?

when the scores are arranged either in ascending or descending magnitude, then such arrangement is called an?

procedure of organizing data in groups is called a?

these are the numbers defining the class?

consisting of the end numbers called _______ namely the upper limit and lower limit?

shows the number of observations falling in the class?

these are the so called "true class limits"

is the difference between two consecutive upper limits or two consecutive lower limits?

the midpoint is the middle value of a class interval

shows the accumulated frequencies of successive classes?

Greater than CF (>CF) shows the number of observations greater than UCB

Less than CF (<CF) shows the number of observations less than UCB

is a graph which is primarily composed of vertical bars that are interconnected making it an appropriate and a clear graph for continuous data?

it is a line chart which is constructed by plotting the classmarks against the class frequencies?

these are the graphs of cumulative frequency distributions?
